Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a little salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, \x34All politics is applesauce.\x34 In 41 years as a print and broadcast journalist, most of those years with the Rockford (Ill.) Register Star, Pat has covered national politics under eight American presidents. He's attended 10 national political conventions, Republican and Democratic alike, and has interviewed countless prominent political players, including Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush.

UPDATE: Speaking of Wisconsin Republicans and matters of taxation, our old buddy Ron “Sunspots” Johnson, one of the dimmest bulbs in the U.S. Senate, suddenly has involved himself in GOP stewardship of the House of Representatives.

Sunspots SAYS John Boehner is not long for the speakership if he wavers even a little bit on the issue of taxes....
